That's great tiger!!!
I found an even better recipe too:
Blackened Tuna Salad
Four main-dish servings. From Sugar Busters Quick & Easy Cookbook.
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound fresh tuna steak (about 1-inch thick), cut into 4 equal pieces
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
3/4 cup Balsamic Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
Mix the black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, lemon pepper, and salt together in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the tuna to coat.
Preheat a medium nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the tuna and sear for about 3 minutes per side. Mound lettuce on 4 salad plates. Top each with seared tuna and drizzle with the vinaigrette.
[I found it to take a lot longer since I cook mine thouroughly. I also added a bit of chicken stalk, fat free and low sodium, to the bottom of the pan after the intial 6 minutes]
Balsamic Vinaigrette
1/2 cup olive oil
3 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons minced green onion (dark green tops trimmed off)
1/2 to 1 packet artificial sweetener (to taste)
Pinch of ground cumin (or more to taste)
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in a jar. Shake well (before each use). Serve chilled. Makes about 2/3 cup.
